With her spatial ability to raise beast husbands, the wicked female becomes the darling of the group

Chapter 409 Crucial
After a while, it seemed as if the wind from the sea blew through the middle of the altar, ruffling Su Muyao's hair.

Su Muyao held her breath and waited anxiously, her eyes wide open, afraid that something might go wrong.

The system dared not speak recklessly at this point.

Even the system couldn't understand the high priest's terminology, but it understood the last sentence.

Under the high priest's control, the Soul Gathering Lamp slowly rose. After rotating for a while, the flame seemed about to ignite, but suddenly went out.

Seeing this, Su Muyao turned pale and almost lost her balance.

It was only because Wei Jinmo held her that she didn't faint.

Wei Jinmo comforted her, saying, "There won't be any problems. The power of the Soul Gathering Lamp is very strong, and the power of the High Priest is also very strong. Don't worry."

Hearing Wei Jinmo's words, Su Muyao calmed down.

She wanted to ask something, but she didn't dare.

The high priest turned to look at Su Muyao and said, "Miss Su's situation is too special. His sacrifice was too powerful. He has almost no trace of his soul left in this world. It will be very difficult to light the Soul Gathering Lamp. But Miss Su is someone he resurrected with everything he had. Only by using a drop of your heart's blood as a catalyst can there be a slight chance to gather his soul. If it goes on any longer, his remnant soul may dissipate."

Su Muyao replied without hesitation, "Okay, whatever you need, that's fine."

As she spoke, Su Muyao took out a dagger.

Wei Jinmo couldn't bear to watch this scene, but he had no right to stop it.

Just looking at the knife made his heart ache.

Su Muyao decisively plunged the dagger into her heart and used her supernatural power to extract a drop of her heart's blood.

The high priest used his power to manipulate the drop of heart's blood into the Soul Gathering Lamp.

When this drop of heart's blood fell into the Soul Gathering Lamp, it was instantly absorbed by the patterns on it, and even seemed to emit a slight glow.

Wei Jinmo stepped forward with trembling hands and embraced Su Muyao.

He wanted to treat her injuries, but Su Muyao used her wood-based supernatural abilities to quickly heal them.

Although she felt a slight pain in her chest, she didn't pay it any mind.

But for Wei Jinmo, the knife Su Muyao had just stabbed into her own heart felt like it had stabbed into his own heart. His heart was throbbing with pain, as if it were still bleeding.

What should he do with her?
How should he treat her well?

Tears welled up in Wei Jinmo's bloodshot eyes.

His beloved, how can he ever make up for the hurt she has suffered?

Wei Jinmo felt an overwhelming pang of heartache and wanted to hug Su Muyao tightly, but dared not exert any force.

Su Muyao was a little weak and her face was still a bit pale. Wei Jinmo quietly turned his supernatural power into a gentle force and injected it into her body from behind to make her feel more comfortable.

Su Muyao's attention was completely focused on the Soul Gathering Lamp, hoping that it would be lit, that the soul would be gathered, and that Yue Wuhen would come back to life.

The high priest raised his scepter once more, chanting incantations.

This time, the Soul-Gathering Lamp began to rise into the sky and rotate, and the High Priest raised his scepter and began to chant incantations while performing a sacrificial dance.

A wisp of mist gradually filled the surroundings, and countless points of light began to converge from all directions, surrounding the Soul Gathering Lamp.

The beads on the scepter also emitted a dazzling blue light, which instantly flowed into the Soul Gathering Lamp.

The Soul-Gathering Lamp spun faster and faster, until finally, a blue flame shot up from the wick in the center.

The moment the flames lit up, the light and shadow around the Soul Gathering Lamp seemed to instantly form a faint, ethereal phantom of a soul.

"The moon leaves no trace, it is the moon that leaves no trace."

Although it was very transparent and almost invisible, Su Muyao still saw it.

Her voice became excited.

She wanted to go forward, but for some reason, she felt uncomfortable and weak, and couldn't get close at all.

"Soul Condensation!" the high priest shouted, his scepter drawing complex runes in the air. Golden and blue light surged simultaneously, illuminating the entire altar hall as if it were daytime.

The flames inside the Soul Gathering Lamp burned brighter and brighter.

The scattered remnants of light twinkled all around.

They seemed to want to get close to Su Muyao, but in the end they drifted away. Su Muyao seemed to be trying to grasp Yue Wuhen's illusory image through these scattered lights, but she couldn't catch it at all.

Su Muyao felt a pang of sadness in her heart. "Why?"

The system said, "These scattered points of light are fragments of Yue Wuhen's remnant soul. To his entire soul, they are but a drop in the ocean."

"But even if we can gather a little bit, it means that Yue Wuhen has a glimmer of hope, a chance to come back to life."

Su Muyao wanted to go forward and take a look, but just then, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach, and her vision went black as she was about to faint.

Wei Jinmo caught her quickly and caught her in his arms. "My lady, how are you?"

"I'm fine, I'm just a little cold."

She felt that her body was weak, possibly because she had used her heart's blood, and she sensed that the surrounding air was somewhat cold.

But Wei Jinmo felt that Su Muyao's face was too pale at the moment, which was not right.

At this point, the high priest had completed the ritual of lighting the soul-gathering lamp and had relinquished his power and scepter.

He turned around and said, "Miss Su is indeed worthy of being a Celestial Phoenix. The power of your heart's blood is very strong. If it weren't for your heart's blood, the Soul Gathering Lamp would not have been able to be lit today."

"Your bond with him is very deep, which is why you are each other's only chance of survival."

The high priest seemed to understand something and sighed.

Wei Jinmo looked at the High Priest and said, "High Priest, could you please take a look at my wife? She is not feeling well."

The high priest hadn't thought much of it at first, only that she might be weak from using her heart's blood, but looking at Su Muyao's appearance now, he felt something was wrong.

He pinched his fingers together, his whole body trembled, and he quickly stepped forward and said, "Miss Su, may I take your pulse?"

Su Muyao nodded and said, "Okay."

Su Muyao trusted the High Priest at this moment, and at the same time, she hoped to get well and didn't want Wei Jinmo to worry.

The high priest placed his hand on Su Muyao's fingers, examined them, and his expression changed.

"what……"

The high priest, who had been indifferent all along, was now extremely shocked.

Little did he know that his appearance terrified Wei Jinmo. "High Priest, is there anything wrong with my wife's body? What do you need me to do? Please tell me."

The high priest gave Wei Jinmo a strange look, a look that was particularly complex.

Wei Jinmo couldn't understand the High Priest's gaze at all.

He asked in a trembling voice, "High Priest, how is my wife? Please tell me, High Priest."

To make sure his investigation was correct, the high priest examined her again. After confirming everything, he said, "You're lucky, young man. Miss Su is pregnant."

"No wonder she is a lucky star for my sea tribe, representing good fortune. It is because the offspring that Miss Su bears is of great importance to my sea tribe."

When Wei Jinmo heard these words, it felt like a thunderclap had struck her head.

After the initial shock came excitement and delight.

But more than anything, I felt worried and heartbroken.

Su Muyao was also stunned.

She had never thought of it that way before.

The system excitedly announced, "Host, it's true! I just examined your body and discovered that you and Wei Jinmo had a child last night when you formed your bond."

Su Muyao was somewhat incredulous. She placed her hand on her stomach and asked, "Is this real?"

"of course it's true."

"But I didn't form a contract with any other beastmen before."

The system explained, "That's because the host was unable to manifest their true form before; their body was imprisoned, essentially sealed. Now that the host can manifest their true form, the restriction has been lifted. As a Celestial Phoenix, you are countless times more powerful than the Holy Female, possessing the ability to conceive divinely."

"Moreover, the child conceived by the host is born with great strength and talent, which is definitely not comparable to that of an ordinary beastman."
